Looking for a real payout...90%+++
We just wanted to mention to you though, that if you include the 3% discount we're providing to anyone who mentions FootballGuys.com upon registering, for our $999 league you're looking at a 88% payout. Not quite your 90% that you mentioned...but close. We do also still have one more spot left in our "HallofFamer" league $2999 entry fee drafting Wednesday evening, and with the FootballGuys.com discount of 3%, that's well over 90% if you're interested. If not, we completely respect that, we just wanted to mention it to you. Sincerely,

you missed the +++ part, there is no way on a $3000 entry fee that someone should be keeping $360 to "administer" the leagueOn a 12 team league thats a total of $4320 to run the league.

Absolutely ridiculous that anone would sign up for that

Most of us would deal with the 90% payout as the cost of doing business, but in a high stakes league, two things that are generally not exceptable are Worst-to-First Waivers and Trading. Make Waivers claims Blind Bidding and do not allow trading and I think there would be more interest in the higher stake leagues.Mark

Thanks for the feedback Mark. We believe in the Worst to First waiver structure as the most equitable way to run a league, so we won't be changing that. However, regarding your concern about trading, as per our Rules Page there are two ways in which a trade can be overturned once it is agreed upon in our leagues. (1) A majority vote of the non-partisan GM's, and (2) The FantasyHeadquarters.com Commissioner holds the "Supreme Power of Veto" over any trades in our leagues that we deem extemely one-sided and/or potentially collusive. We enact this power often, as of utmost importance to us is to uphold the integrity of all of our leagues, and we feel we are quite successful in doing so. Trading is a privilege in our leagues, and we won't stand for any hints of possible collusion. Sincerely,

The FantasyHeadquarters.com Team

 
Back to the original subject Mark mine pay out over 120%! But openings fill fast naturally when they do occur which isn't often. I am thinking about removeing some off season hybernators next year as it is Dynasty and is year round and about 75% stay active year round. I am in over 25 leagues and they all pay over 93% as far as I know. Its the big business I avoid especially when they have in big red letters when I look money will not be refunded. That rules out joining late like this because if league doesn;t fill your screwed! I play in several private leagues pay over 100% like mine! Free software. Side contest bonuses. You pretty much have to know them or know one of us inside circle to ever get a chance to join them. I play in show case leagues pay me to play based on my merit and achoievments.

We are rich guys that win a lot at this and give it back for playing in your/our league.

That's the circle I am in and have been 20 plus years.

Most the leagues I find on here suck compared to ones I;ve been in 10-20 years. Uneven schedules which makes for uneven SOS and effect playoff qualifiers. Bunch of punks, intergrity issues. $ Hogged for only top finnishers. Slow or incompetent commishes.

Try the FFL leagues next year. They are well ran and honest leagues. JAG posts openings on here from time to time! I will expand into more of them again next year. His high stakes are around 97% I play in! He has his own software and it's better then MFL in some ways and if you tell him something he doesnt have that MFL does he has it within a couple hours! He has an awesome variety to pick from too. He uses the 4 division of 3 alignment that provides for even SOS for 13 week regular season 12 team format and MFL doesn't even support as a choice though they will help u achieve it if u ask! This IMO is a must for $$$ leagues to arrive at fair playoff qualifers.

To completely clairfy, yes, of course we have a no refund policy for our leagues. That is because we can't have people backing out at the last second, and thereby making us fold, for example, a 12 team filled league, over one player. This is our 8th year providing fantasy football leagues, and we've instituted this policy, solely for this reason, and this reason alone. Surely you can understand that when you have 9 or 11 other guys/girls depending upon you to play in that league, we can't allow someone to, at their whim, say, "No thanks, I think I'm out - give me a full refund please". That doesn't work. So, we institute a no refund policy. HOWEVER, that always is contingent upon your league filling with the amount of teams its advertised to be. So if you're supposed to be in a 12 team league, and we only get 10, sure, we'll run the league with 10 teams, as that's what 99% of the owners want to do still. However, if you are in that 1%, and don't wish to participate in a 10 team league, and signed up for a 12 team league, no problem, we provide you with a full refund. Also, anytime a league doesn't fill (which is rare, we usually fill our leagues up several times over), we provide you the option of moving into another league, or receiving a full refund. So again we must institute a no refund policy, because we can't have one owner, all of the sudden, out of the blue, decide they don't want to play. Great...now 11 other guys/girls are out of luck, because of that one owner. So we have the no refund policy, as long as your league fills completely, as advertised. We just wanted to get that straight, as we certainly felt it deserved some clarification. Sincerely,

The FantasyHeadquarters.com Team

Seems like Fantasyheadquarters is constantly having to defend themselves rather than trying to become a better league.

Defend ourselves? No. We merely wanted to clarify, that was all. As we've always stated on any posts on this site, we value everyone's choice to have their own opinion, and we won't try to sway that opinion, or choice. We definitely have no desire to get into a pissing match with anyone. We've chosen only to respond to posts when they're either inaccurate, or definitively need addressing, i.e. the clarification on the alleged no refund policy. We'd love to have anyone who wishes to participate in our leagues join, and respect anyone elses desire not to. Best of luck in your leagues, regardless of where you may be playing!

Sincerely,

The FantasyHeadquarters.com Team

I would be too if I was running a big business with advertisement on here. I might give them a try one of these years. I am on there mailing list and considered them as a one more league with a few days left and done myself drafting but them red letters scared me off. And I am glad he explained. They are legit. I know that! They make plenty over the top to guareentee prizes. With them bsmith punks comeing around here just to rip people off it maybe worth it to pay a little more to play to guareentee your winnings. I just am prividged and spoiled to be in many great leagues with very little, if any profits for the people running them. I agree 100% L2F waivers is the best way to run any type of leagues. BBIDS SUCK!There are so many flaws in BBIDS! Commisioner advantage, Just tonight I got screwed and screwed bad. There is no way on gods earth someone can outbid me my first 3 choices by 1 buck each without cheating. Not only that it dipped down and gave me my last choice and skipped my 4th andf 5th choice. And skipped my free choice from moving a IR player to IR! BBIDS ARE FRAUD. Fortunatly fcfs opened immediatly and I fixed the problems I had but that still doesnt explain how my first 3 choices all lost by a buck!Tradeing is debateable but I prefer not hi stake leagues as there is too much rideing on the money. You guys should run hi stake draftmaster leagues. Draft them and play them. Cut the business over hang as there is nothing you have to do except provide the software and collect and payout. Works great for guys like me way over our head as it is. I helped fill a lot of good leagues for a lot of good people Norton17. But that was 3 and 4 weeks ago. Send me a P.M. around August first next year and I will set you up with some great leagues with little or no profits for the people running them if anything is avialable. The hi stakes fill real real fast though! I recruited a total of at least 20 new good owners proven over many years this year for good leagues I play in.

You mean to say you pay 3k per team...the site keeps $4,320....and they would have one of the teams act as commissioner?...I site could provide someone to administrate the blind bids for that kind of money...the software does all the heavy lifting....
